My First Build
I just wanted to post a few pics of my first bike build. I bought a Trek carbon hardtail frame on Ebay along with a few other parts and stripped my hardtail for parts. I'm very happy with the way it came out.
I ride mostly on the road and on bike trails and just like mountain bikes for their comfort.
I like building and fixing bikes almost more than riding them.

i understand what you mean about liking to fix bikes more than riding them.
i was into paintballing, but i at times i was more interested in customizing and building up a nice one rather than actually playing.

nice pics, sounds like a job at the LBS is calling you! I'd lose the reflectors though
